1  ALAS?  aiid  did  my  Saviour  bleed! 

And  did  my  Sovereign  die  ! 
Would  he  devote  that  sacred  head 
For  such  a  worm  as  I  ? 

2  Was  it  for  crimes  that  I.  have  done, 

He  groaned  upon  tiie  tree? 
Amazing  pity  I  grace  uidcnown  ! 
And  love  beyond  degree  I 

3  Well  might  the  sun  in  darkness  hide 

And  shut  his  glories  in, 


i: 


When  Christ,  the  mighty  Maker,  died 
For  man,  the  crealure's  sin. 

4  Thus  mi^rht  I  hide  my  blushing  face, 

While  his  ileur  cross  appears; 
Diesolve  my  heart  in  thankfuhiess, 
And  melt  my  eyes  to  tears. 

5  But  drops  ol't;riet  can  ne'er  repay 

1'he  debt  of  love  I  owe  ; 
Here,  Lerd,  I  give  myself  away, 
'Tis  all  that  I  can  do. 
Y  L.   M. 

1  WHEN  I  survey  the  wondrous  croefl, 

On  which  the  Prince  of  glory  died, 
My  richest  g  vin  I  count  but  loss, 
And  pour  contempt  on  all  my  pride, 

2  Forbid  it,  Lord,  that  I  shouki  boast. 

Save  in  the  death  a-:'"C'hrist,  my  God; 
All  the  vain    things  that   charm  me 
most, 
I  sacrifice  them  to  his  blood. 

3  See,  Irom  his  head,  hie  hands,  liis  feet, 

Sorrow  and  love  flow  mingled  down; 
Did  e'er  such  lo'  e  and  sorrow  meet, 
Or  thorns  compose  so  rich  a  crown? 

4  Wore  all  the  realm  of  nature  mine,| 

That  were  a.  present  far  too  small ; 
Love  so  amazing,  so  divine, 

Demands  my  soul,  my  life,  my  all.

now  lost  was  my  conditio: 

Till  Jesus  made  nie  whole! 
There  is  but  one  Phyaician 

Can  cure  a  sin-sick  soul. 
Kext  door  to  death  he  found  me. 

And  snatched  me  from  the  grav 
To  tell  to  all  around  me 

His  wondrous  power  to  save. 

From  men  great  skill  professing, 

I  thought  a  cure  to  gain; 
But  tliis  proved  more  distressing, 

And  added  to  my  pain. 
Some  said  that  nothing  ailed  me  : 

Some  gave  me  up  for  lost : 
Thus  every  refuge  failed  >ne, 

And  all  my  hopes  were  crossed. 

At  length,  this  great  Physician — 

How  matchless  is  his  grace ! 
Accepted  my  petition, 

And  undertook  my  case  ; 
First  gave  me  sight  to  view  liim,- 

For  sin  my  eyes  had  settled, — 
Then  bade  me  look  unto  him  : 

I  looked,  and  I  was  healed.

At  once  from  danger  (ree8  us.

It  plunged  me  in  despair; 
I  saw  my  sins  his  blood  had  spilt, 
And  helped  to  nail  him  there.

I  CHRIST  and  his  croas  arc  all  our 
theme : 
The  mysteries  that  we  speak 
Are  scandal  in  the  Jews'  esteem, 
And  folly  to  the  Greek. 

i!  But  souls  enlightened  from  above 
"^Vith  joy  receiv^e  the  word  ; 
They  see  what  wisdom,  power,  and  love 
Shine  in  their  dying  Lord. 

"3  The  vital  savour  of  hia  name 

Restores  their  fainting  breath  ; 
But  unbelief  perverts  the  same 
To  guilt,  despair,  and  dealh. 

4  Till  God  dilTuse  his  graces  down, 
Like  showers  of  heavenly  rain; 
In  vain  A  polios  sows  the  ground, 
And  Paul  may  plant  in  vain.

Did  Christ,  the  Son  of  God,  appear;

No  iiaming  sword  or  thunder  there.

Without  one  cheerful  beain  of  hope,

Con'd  or  would  have  shed  his  blood?" 
But  this  Saviour  died  to  have  us 

Kec^onciled,  in  him,  to  God. 
When  lie  lived  on  earth  abased. 

Friend  of  sinners  was  his  name; 
Now  above  all  glory  raised, 

He  rejoices  in  the  same. 
4  0  for  grace  our  hearts  to  soften  ! 

Teach  us.  Lord,  at  length  to  love  ,

One  star  alone,  of  all  the  train, 
Can  fix  the  sinner's  wanderinfr  eye.

From  every  host,  froni  every  iieni; 
But  one  nlone  the  Saviour  speak.s —

The  storm  was  loud,  the  night  was

The  wind  that  tossed  mv  lounderinij

Death-struck,  1  ceased  the  tide  to

Wlien  suddenly  a  star  arose — 
It  was  the  Star  of  Betlilehem  ! 

5  It  was  my  guide,  my  light,  my  all ; 

It  made  my  dark  forebodings  cease: 
And.  through  the  storn'i  and  danger's 
thrall. 
It  le<l  me  to  the  port  of  peace. 

6  Kow,  safely  moored,  my  perils  o'er, 

I'll  sing   first  in  nighfs  diadem, 
Forever,  and  forevermore —

with  fears, 
And  the  cup  of  thanksgiving  with  pen-

Rise,  m}^  soul,  and  haste  away 

To  se.its  prepared  above. 
-  Rivers  to  the  ocean  run, 

Nor  stay  in  all  their  couisc  ; 
Fire,  ascending,  seeks  the  sun, 

Both  speed  them  to  their  source ; 
So  the  soul  fiat's  born  of  GmI 

Pants  to  see  his  glorious  face, 
Ifpvi-ard  teu'ds  to  his  abode, 

To  rest  in  his  embrace. 
o  Cease,  3'e  pilgrims,  cease  to  mourn; 

Press  onward  to  the  prize ; 
Soon  our  Saviour  will  retuin, 

Triumphant,  in  the  skies' 
Yet  a  season,  and  you  know 


lis 


llappv  entrance  will  be  given ; 
All  our  sorrows  left  below, 

Atici  earth  exchanged  for  heaven.

Where  saints  in  glory  stand, 

Blight,  bright  as  day  ; 
O,  how  they  sweetly  sing, 
WortV.y  is  our  Saviour  King ; 
Loud  lot  his  praises  ring, — 

Praise,  praise  for  aye.
